After my exam, I'll be serving as a conscientious objector for 9 months, and when I'm done with that, I'm gonna enroll as a CS-student on a University I think. But you never know what the future holds :) I live in Denmark.

> == How and why I use Emacs ==
> I started using GnuEmacs primarily because of LaTeX. This was around October/November of 2002, and I was just getting very tired of using Microsoft Word with <nowiki>MathType</nowiki> for my math and physics homework. So I started looking at LaTeX, and found out that Emacs seemed to be a preferred editor for it. I had played around with Emacs before, and tried to complete the tutorial, but I never quite got through it. At first, I switched back and forth between Emacs and <nowiki>TextPad</nowiki> (a decent, but nothing but, texteditor for windows) for my LaTeX-needs, but when someone presented me with a cheat-sheat for Emacs, explaining things like C-x 2 and C-x 3, and suddenly I became alot more interested in learning Emacs :) After a short while I started using it for all my programming needs, and I'm starting to learn lisp as well now, which I must say is not as scary as it seems at first :)
> === IRC ===
> I've been an IRC-addict longer than I've been using Emacs, and I've gone through alot of different clients. Seeing as my primary platform is Windows (yet, I love what I've tried with UNIX, but I still have some things I need to work out before committing to a full convertion), the client I started with was ofcourse mIRC. I hated it. For one channel it was fine, but as soon as I started hanging out in 2 or 3 channels, it annoyed me more than it did me good. After having tried Epic4 in one of my early attempts with UNIX, I got a hold of a windows-port, and I loved it. Only thing was, it started to bail on me when I was in 4-5 channels, and wanted perhaps 2 windows for queries. My screen simply wasn't big enough. Besides that, I constantly sent my messages to the wrong channels and such :) Then I learned about the EmacsWiki, and through here, I found ERC, the EmacsIRCClient. Just the power of having my favorite text-editor for IRC'ing, was an incredible boost. And when I got around to customizing it, everything just got better. My favorite feature has to be ErcChannelTracking, that allows me to follow everything going on, and still get some "work" done :) If it's ERC's features, or just the fact that it allows for me to use it like Emacs, or the fact that it is about as extensible as Emacs, anyhow, I have no doubt that ERC is the best IRC-client I've tried yet. :)
> === Mail / News ===
> As a Windows-user, the "standard" mail-client is Outlook Express, but I can't stand being subjected to vbscript viruses, and besides that, the client is just not nice to work with. After having tried UNIX, I started using PINE for my mail/usenet-needs, and I was rather satisfied. It served my needs, was simple, it wasn't really very POP3-friendly, and I never quite learnt to use it with usenet properly. When I started using Emacs, I wanted to try Gnus, which I had heard of before, and since that I haven't used anything else. I haven't learned even a small fraction of what it can do yet, but it works practically just like I want it, and after getting a .gnus pasted together from different sources, I am quite happy with it. Some day I want to learn alot more about it though.
> == Things I want in Emacs ==
> * A good ICQ-client. I currently use <nowiki>MirandaICQ</nowiki>, but once I start playing around with UNIX again, I'm gonna need a client that works there. I hope BitlBee combined with EmacsIRCClient will be as good as Miranda, but I fear the worst :) I haven't been satisfied by any of the clients I've tried on UNIX, and the one that bothered me the least was "vicq", a perl-script. I've considered using it from a shell in Emacs, but I don't think it'll get alot better that way.
> * A bash.org interface - I'm working on this as my first "serious" attempt at making something with EmacsLisp, great fun - at times. :)
> * A full-blown IMDb interface :) - This is a rather comprehensive task, but someday maybe I'll play around with it :) Until then, GirishB has made [http://www.gbvsoft.com/imdb.el.txt imdb.el], which allows for searching, but fails when [http://www.imdb.com IMDb] redirects to the movies own page, if the search was specific enough to return only one result.

Hi, my name is Ulrik Jensen, but everywhere online I go by the name Terry Patcher (abbreviated TerryP at times). I have been using Emacs for around 6 months now, and I am beginning to understand it
I hope to be able to contribute alot to the Wiki, which I think has alot of great information for Emacs-users. I can be found on #emacs @ OPN, under the nick TerryP.
On a more personal note, I’m 18 years old, and I’m getting (I hope) my high-school exam this summer (Higher Technical Exam, exactly, which is a more “project”-oriented type of high-school, that also focuses more on the hard-sciences than on humanistic-subjects). After my exam, I’ll be serving as a conscientious objector for 9 months, and when I’m done with that, I’m gonna enroll as a CS-student on a University I think. But you never know what the future holds
I live in Denmark.
I use Emacs.
I’ve been playing around with EmacsWikiMode, the result of which can be seen at my website: http://www.terryp.tk. The design is very similar to DamienElmes’, but I’ll fix that one day, haven’t been bored enough to actually do something creative with it yet 
My .emacs, .gnus and .ercrc (self-invented name i guess, loaded from .emacs) can be found at:
[The terryp.tk and qcom.dk/ulrik websites don’t seem to exist anymore.]
– TerryPatcherI can usually be reached on ICQ #23831876 or my email ulrik@qcom.dk, if I’m not on IRC.
If you want to test the first draft of my bash.org interface, it’s available here:
